"Pray more, worry less" is not a direct Bible verse, but it sums up Philippians 4:6-7 and Matthew 6:34. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages replacing anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving, leading to God's peace. Matthew 6:34 advises against worrying about the future, urging believers to focus on the present day's needs and trust God for their provision. A better solution to worrying is to pray. Let your worries become prayers. Let God know your concerns through prayer and praise. God's peace, which exceeds all reason, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." He will settle you peacefully before you know it. (Philippians 4:7)

God's peace is an incredible calm that surpasses human comprehension. In difficult times, this peace provides comfort and assurance, shielding our hearts and minds. Praying and trusting in God's abilities are the keys to accessing this peace. A relationship with Christ Jesus brings this promise. Matthew 6:34 NIV: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God...”
*The KEY to God's PEACE is praying these prayers and trusting in His abilities.
